Our new article discussing the benefits of integrating insights from dynamical systems theory and phenomenological self-disturbance research to improve early identification and treatment of psychosis just appeared in @thelancet.com. Freely available here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our invited commentary on Andrea Raballo and colleagues discussion of our work on the revised ipseity-disorder model is now published. We clarify some potential misunderstandings and highlight outstanding issues in phenomenological self-disturbance research. Freely available through link below.

My new book is now available, it is open access. I portray psychiatric diagnoses as being scientific despite not being natural kinds. I seek a middle ground between realism and constructivism by drawing upon various Kantian thinkers, especially Cassirer. #Philsci #Philpsy #Psychiatry #STS #Philsky

Thanks a lot @schizosemia.bsky.social for this thoughtful and generous review of the latest edition of our Too Mad to be True conference. So heartening to read. @wtrax.bsky.social

It's interesting how all the people who complain about how disabilities or illnesses have become identities seem fine with people identifying as well, healthy, or normal. I think if anything there is a much larger identity politics of this latter sort.

This is important work towards the better integration of phenomenological and predictive coding approaches of primary delusions. Imo follow-up needed with phenomenologically more sensitive measures and theoretical work on application counterfactual learning to explain sense of reality.

Just received word that our Deluded By Experience project--a longitudinal study combining phenomenological theory, experience-sampling & qualitative research to identify the experiential mechanisms of delusion formation in psychosis--got accepted for funding by the FWO. Hooray! 🥳
